Soundgarden made an appearance on the BBC’s Later With Jools Holland program Tuesday as the band works to promote the November 13 release of their new album, “King Animal.”

The group performed the project’s first single, “Been Away Too Long,” as well as “Rusty Cage,” a track from 1991’s “Badmotorfinger.”

“King Animal” marks the reunited band’s first studio effort in 16 years.

Soundgarden will introduce the new music to fans via a series of intimate shows to launch the project.

The Seattle rockers will play Irving Plaza in New York City on November 13, the Phoenix Concert Theater in Toronto on November 16, and at The Fonda Theatre in Los Angeles on November 27.

Fans who pre-order"King Animal" before 11:59 p.m. PST on November 7 will be sent a password which allows access to the on-sale on November 8 at 12 p.m. local time for the three shows. Tickets will be sold on a first-come-first-served basis, and there is no guarantee a password will get you tickets.

The concerts go on sale to the general public at 10 a.m. local time on Friday, November 9.
